cnn's mohammed jamjoom is in beirut with more. what is the very latest here? >> reporter: well, zoraida, combined with this nbc news report from last night and what cnn reported on monday, there are increasing fears that the bashar al assad regime in syria could possibly resort to using chemical weapons. that they possibly have started mixing their chemical weapons. this has been a nightmare scenario for some time. we should add, however, that even today, syrian officials have reiterated their stance that they've been saying for quite some time, that they will not use chemical weapons against the population of syria, and that any type of military intervention by western powers in syria would be catastrophic, not just for the region, but for the entire world. taken together, though, these are very worrying signs. we know that later today, u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton is going to be meeting with her russian counterpart, sergey lavrov. this is a meeting that's going to take place in dublin later today. this is an effort to try to get the peace plan for

mohammed's son tells us, "today, i sent my brother to get bread at 6:00 a.m." look, it's 3:00 p.m. right now and he hasn't gotten any. the kids haven't eaten." the power is out, as it has been for weeks. and now the water is cut as well. there is a growing sense of desperation among people here. stalked by both hunger and danger. "god gave me these children. these children are my responsibility," the man laments. now i can't even get them a loaf of bread. before, i could. now, i can't. the price of bread has skyrocketed due to a flour shortage. along with it, a population's anger. the situation is so dire that people say society is beginning to disintegrate. this is yet another bread line. we were just at one further up the road where the crowd ended up mobbing around us, furious. they said that they wanted us to leave because they were fed up with people filming them. they feel as if the world is simply mocking their misery. and just four days, the cost of fuel jumped from 85 syrian pounds to 150. but beyond the now astronomical cost of survival, it's the constant fear and insecur
